Money." He concludes: "Emancipation from huckstering and money, consequently from practical, real Judaism, would be the self-emancipation of our time.

The world that Mr. Trump inhabits is today's Other America, the seamy, blustering, hustling and huckstering underside of our fabled brightness and optimism.

Forecasting health in the public domain falls somewhere between shooting blind and huckstering, but the usual rule of thumb is that past injuries are the best predictor of future injuries.

While a financially successful individual, he often gave an appearance of a man who struggled to make ends meet. David F. Friedman, an exploitation filmmaker and presenter who worked with Millard in the 1940s and 1950s, described Millard's appearance at a meeting as someone who "did not project an aura of prosperity," with a wrinkled suit and dirty shirt.Friedman, 230. He gained a reputation for huckstering and making every last dollar he could from his distributors and film buyers, which gained him both respect and resentment from his peers.

These scholars argue that Marx equated Judaism with capitalism in his essay, helping to spread that idea. Some further argue that the essay influenced National Socialist, as well as Soviet and Arab antisemites.According to Joshua Muravchik Marx's aspiration for "the emancipation of society from Judaism" because "the practical Jewish spirit" of "huckstering" had taken over the Christian nations is not that far from the Nazi program's twenty-four-point: "combat[ing] the Jewish-materialist spirit within us and without us" in order "that our nation can […] achieve permanent health." See Marx himself had Jewish ancestry, and Albert Lindemann and Hyam Maccoby have suggested that he was embarrassed by it.

65–66 Instead of concentrated private ownership of land, Marx recommends that economies of scale should instead be realized by associations: :Association, applied to land, shares the economic advantage of large-scale landed property, and first brings to realization the original tendency inherent in land-division, namely, equality. In the same way association re-establishes, now on a rational basis, no longer mediated by serfdom, overlordship and the silly mysticism of property, the intimate ties of man with the earth, for the earth ceases to be an object of huckstering, and through free labor and free enjoyment becomes once more a true personal property of man.

He highlights the combination of Lennon's "caustic vocal", McCartney's "huckstering harmony in fourths" and Harrison's "double-tracked guitar, with its unique blend of sitar and country- and-western". Reviewing the album for Mojo in 2002, Charles Shaar Murray grouped "Doctor Robert" with "And Your Bird Can Sing", "She Said She Said" and "I Want to Tell You" as guitar-based tracks that "glisten" with "glorious cascades of jangle". He identified this jangle quality as the Beatles' response to "what the Byrds had done with the Fabs' own proto-folk-rock sound on A Hard Day's Night". When Mojo released Revolver Reloaded in 2006, part of the magazine's series of CDs of Beatles albums covered track-by-track by modern artists, "Doctor Robert" was covered by Luke Temple.

Herodotus recounted that, when the Persian king Cyrus the Great asked Croesus, a defeated king who was now his counsellor, what he should do in view of a revolt of the Lydians, Croesus advised him to punish the leader, "but let the Lydians be pardoned; and lay on them this command, that they may not revolt or be dangerous to you; then, I say, and forbid them to possess weapons of war, and command them to wear tunics under their cloaks and buskins on their feet, and to teach their sons lyre-playing and song and dance and huckstering. Then, O King, you will soon see them turned to women instead of men; and thus you need not fear lest they revolt."The Histories, Herodotus, trans. Robin Waterfield, Oxford University Press, NY, 1998.

Another quote by Lenin further expounded on his ideas in his article titled On Cooperation, where he wrote: > Indeed, the power of the state over all large-scale means of production, > political power in the hands of the proletariat, the alliance of this > proletariat with the many millions of small and very small peasants, the > assured proletarian leadership of the peasantry, etc. — is this not all that > is necessary to build a complete socialist society out of cooperatives, out > of cooperatives alone, which we formerly ridiculed as huckstering and which > from a certain aspect we have the right to treat as such now, under NEP? Is > this not all that is necessary to build a complete socialist society? It is > still not the building of socialist society, but it is all that is necessary > and sufficient for it.

Having thus figuratively equated "practical Judaism" with "huckstering and money", Marx concludes, that "the Christians have become Jews"; and, ultimately, it is mankind (both Christians and JewsMarx 1844: > On the other hand, if the Jew recognizes that his practical nature is futile > and works to abolish it, he extricates himself from his previous development > and works for human emancipation as such and turns against the supreme > practical expression of human self-estrangement. ) that needs to emancipate itself from ("practical") Judaism. The second part of Marx's essay is frequently cited as evidence of Marx's antisemitism:Marx 1844 > Let us consider the actual, worldly Jew – not the Sabbath Jew, as Bauer > does, but the everyday Jew. Let us not look for the secret of the Jew in his > religion, but let us look for the secret of his religion in the real Jew.

The term intellectual opportunism—the pursuit of intellectual opportunities with a selfish, ulterior motive not consistent with relevant principles—refers to certain self-serving tendencies of the human intellect, often involving professional producers and disseminators of ideas, who work with idea- formation all the time. The phenomenon of intellectual opportunism is frequently associated by its critics with careerism. When human knowledge becomes a tradeable good in a market of ideas, all sorts of opportunities arise for huckstering, swindling, haggling and hustling with information in ways which are regarded as unprincipled, dubious or involve deceit of some sort. The intellectual opportunist adapts his intellectual concerns, pursuits and utterances to "fit with the trend/fashion" or "fit the situation" or "with what sells" – with the (ulterior) motive of gaining personal popularity/support, protecting intellectual coherence, obtaining personal credit, acquiring privilege or status, persuading others, ingratiating himself, taking advantage or making money.
